Breakfast

Freeze the bacon slices
Wash and medium-dice the potatoes and place them in water to prevent browning
Heat 1–2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and tilt to coat
Drain the potatoes, add them to the hot skillet, and season with salt and pepper
Cook, stirring often, until the potatoes are browned (about 10 minutes); add more olive oil if needed
Chop the bacon, add it to the skillet, toss, and cook until crisp (5–6 minutes)
Reduce heat to medium-low, add the minced garlic, toss, season with salt and pepper, add parsley, and cook until the garlic is fragrant (about 1 minute)
Drizzle maple syrup over the potatoes, toss, and cook about 1 minute to caramelize
Serve in a warm bowl
